He was born at Foxcroft, Maine, May 9, 1837. His education was received in the
common schools; and in 1857 he came to California, via the Isthmus. He mined two
years at Timbuctoo, Yuba county, after which he located what is now the Flint
ranch, in Sierra valley, where he stayed for three years. He then sold out, and
in company with W. Spencer bought the Robbins ranch. This was sold three years
after, and he went to Yuba county, where he remained two years, when he returned
to the valley and bought his present ranch of 320 acres, a half-mile north-west
of Loyalton. Since then he has sold it, but bought it back again. He was married
April 12, 1865 to Miss Jennie Badenoch of Lower Canada. Clara Bell, a daughter
of Mrs. Weston�s sister, has been adopted by them.
